Turn off the printer and open the cover where the ink cartridge is located.

Remove the print cartridge from its slot. Look for a sticker on the
cartridge stating it is the right HP print cartridge. If it is the
wrong type of cartridge, or if the cartridge has been refilled, replace
the cartridge with the right HP cartridge..

Remove the cartridges again and unplug the printer. Dampen a lint-free
cloth with water and gently wipe down each one of the cartridges. Avoid
touching the nozzles or the electrical strip on the cartridge.Wipe from the top of the contact to the bottom. Do this for each contact Place
the cartridges back into the printer and turn the machine back on.

Turn the HP printer on. Use the printer to print a test page. If this does not correct the problem, move on

Remove the cartridges and check to make sure the electrical strip along the bottom of each cartridge is not damaged or ripped. If the cartridge is new, make sure the plastic protective tape has been completely removed. Place the cartridges back into the machine and turn it back on.

The error that you are having is a hardware issue, it means your printer has an Ink System Failure. Believe me, there's no use going through troubleshooting for this one. Call HP and just Upgrade your printer. HP Printer Tech Support would be more than happy in giving you discounts and an extra year of warranty for $1.00.

ink system prime failure- the printer is no klonger able to hold pressure in the ink tubes- suggest you replace ALL PRINTHEADS in one go ( the problem may lie in just one printhead or the tubes themselves
If the prinhead replacemnet doesnt wotk then a new set of ink tubes and heads will be needed- this costs about the same as three new c6180 printers and is not worth the money- sorry for thew bad news

Press *(star) and # (hash) together on the printer and let go.
Key 1 then2 then3
Press the right arrow key until the onscreen menu shows System Configuration
Press OK
Press right arrow key until failure status is displayed
OK again
I think there was another OK after this but not sure????
Keep pressing cancel til you get back to the main menu then
Unplug from power for 1 minute then plug back in
Power back on.

Apparently some defective components were used in the construction of the logic board (see photo). On my C6180 there were 3 failed capacitors (the green cylinders - the puffed top indicates failure) and a 4th from the same manufacturer (TEAPO - many unfavorable web references to this manufacturer). I purchased 3x 330uF 16V and 1x 680uF 10v rated to 105 degrees Celsius (total about 60cents). On the logic board, the capacitors I replaced are labeled C613, C614, C660 and C662. If you are not comfortable replacing the parts yourself (or don't have a soldering tool), you will have to find someone who will. The time to repair should be less than 30 min - I did it in 25 min with only a solder pen. This also fixed the ink system failures (0xc1....) the printer was having. A similar fix may apply to other printers.
